My understanding from Seravelli is that Grier is looking to clear the cap due to ownership not wanting to spend money on Karlsson during a rebuild. So retaining that much is likely out of the question. Ideally they would take back a bad contract or two to offset the money and maximize the return. I'd say in this case of 50% retention at least the next two 1st rounder picks and a 2nd. I think at that cap hit for four more years Karlsson is almost certainly good value.
